Congress Battles Over Obamacare, Government Spending

Will House Republicans shut down the Government over the defunding of Obamacare?

FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson reports from Washington DC:

Can the House pass a so-called ‘clean, amendment-free’ spending bill?

Boehner: “I do not see that happening.”

House Speaker John Boehner, taking a hard line with reporters.

Boehner: “We have no interest in seeing a Government shutdown, but we’ve got to address the spending problems that we have in this town.”

But Reuters quotes one lawmaker who says, in a closed-door meeting, Boehner told Republicans to be flexible when it comes to the bill to keep the Government open. The deadline for the House and Senate agreeing and the President signing a Continuing Resolution is Monday night.
